— Sheridan Joyce is the only representative from Australia —<\/p>\n
Curtin University Fashion honours student Sheridan Joyce has recently been named as a finalist in the 2015 Frankfurt Style Award, the only representative from Australia in this year\u2019s fashion contest.<\/p>\n
Her entry piece, entitled Alchemy, consists of a dress and jacket.<\/p>\n
\u201cI designed Alchemy as an initial part of my research into zero-waste design processes, a practice in sustainable fashion,\u201d Ms Joyce explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cZero-waste design is essentially making an educated choice about how materials are used in the patterning process to eliminate the production of textile waste.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of the pieces of the Alchemy interlock together, eliminating fabric waste\/off cuts that would normally end up in a landfill. I was influenced by researching designers such as Timo Rissanen and Holly McQuillan, who have engaged in their own investigations of zero-waste fashion design.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Frankfurt Style Award is an international talent contest for fashion and design and is open to\u00a0fashion students worldwide. Sheridan will travel to the finals which take place in Frankfurt, Germany on 5 September.<\/p>\n
